its n/a lol

This has been happening for a couple months on my Subaru, drives great no issues and done quite a bit of servicing recently on the fluids and filters, but when driving sometimes I put my foot down nothing happens and even if I put it down almost all the way, but then it suddenly takes off. What does this sound like? I always fill up with 98, everyday at high speeds so I don't think it would be something like a clogged injector. Maybe a fuel pump failing?

I cleaned it ages ago it stopped popping up for a while but pops up every now and again.

Ah ok interesting to know. Car is very solid no mechanical issues, just was worried about this. Do have the common faulty oxygen sensor thing but hasn't affected the car at all.

lol.

I thought subaru fixed their head gasket problems? Mine is a 2001 model. Do you think I did damage having my temperature gauge near the red? I don't think it was for more than a couple of minutes.

On my Subaru boxer engine, I had for the first time the gauge go to the high temperature a while back because i ran out of coolant I never checked it in 3 years and after 3 years it ran out lol. I had other people tell me they top of their coolant in their cars (not Subaru's) just wondering if this is normal? I guess it's always been this way. I don't see any visible leaks, possible early head gasket failure? I topped it up to the max line now, cause I think i did lose some again. Would I have also done damage to the head gasket if I drove the car for a few minutes with it being or high temperature? (near the red)

Hey mate do you know how much I have to torque the bolts inside the pan and outside the pan? I can't find a manual for this car anywhere.

apparently there is an external filter aswell? according to my research their isn't so I'm confused.

Here was what teh person at the shop gave me they weren't even completely sure lol. So hard to find for this model what it takes i have no idea why.

2001 impreza ej20. automatic.

I change the oil and filter every 5000km. Or you referring to something within the transmission

I checked my atf fluid for my ej20 automatic transmission it seems fine though looks orangish on the paper more yellowish on the dipstick if i remember correctly. No idea the last time it was serviced. I also had a side question: 1) I notice when i put my car in drive and if i put my foot on the gas straight away it rough shifts, hard to explain but it's like the car hasn't put it self into first gear yet and I'm rushing it into first gear. 2)When I shift gears it shifts fine no problem I just might be imagining things but it seems I feel like when it does shift that the car bumps backwards like im getting pushed back if that makes any sense. These 2 questions the car has always been like that since I bought it, either it's normal or I've been careful not to make it worse if it is a problem lol.

I can't tell when you're serious or joking sometimes lol. You must have a dry sense of humour only thing I can think of haha.

can't afford to lol. my only daily driver so i gotta take care of it like a baby, i aint buying another car. though i have been flooring it a few times recently i gotta make sure i dont build that habit haha.

Congrats man! f**king stunning car.

Thanks for the indepth info i appreciate it. hopefully i can push it until 200 without breaking it lol.

Oh great! So I got until 200km or at least hopefully lol.

The timing gun method i was referring to this video this guy uses it

I ended up just quickly cranking my car a few times and saw the writing and marks they don't look too bad except the yellow line which i guess used to be a white line? is faded. what do you think?

nah its auto/

Ah ok, i was gonna risk the belt until 170km, but if it breaks ill be regretting it haha. ill do what you said turn over the engine and see if marks are there. surely i can't screw that up lol. just turn the crankshaft bolt check, then turn on thecar.

Are you 100% sure? because ive heard of pulleys locking up and they come with the timing belt kit, so wouldn't it make sense to use it?

I'd change all the pulleys and the water pump aswell while im at it. but apprently subarus are more complicated than a normal 4 cylinder inline engine? Messing with the timing scares me lol.

Subaru, sorry i was vague
